Since 2016, the KSC Visitors’ Program has provided students and other groups with the opportunity to visit the court. During such visits, representatives of the Specialist Chambers provide briefings about the mandate and proceedings of the court, followed by questions and discussion. If a hearing is ongoing, groups may have the opportunity to follow parts of it and if there is no hearing in progress, a short tour of the public gallery may be possible.

The Kosovo Specialist Chambers welcomes visitors who would like to attend public hearings from the public gallery of the courtroom, in most cases without pre-registration being required. Journalists are able to follow public hearings from a dedicated media centre (with a delay) or live from the public gallery. The dates and times of public hearings are published on the KSC website.
